Shaun Gatti was jailed for five years and three months for causing the death of 15-year-old Robyn Fryar
The father of a schoolgirl killed by a hit-and-run driver has described the decision not to increase his sentence as "diabolical".
Crown lawyers went to the Court of Criminal Appeal last month in a bid to challenge Gatti's custody term. The court heard Gatti then got out of the car with his passenger Andrew Graham and saw Robyn on the ground.Police estimated that Gatti was driving at at least 41 to 47mph in a 30mph zone. Lady Dorrian wrote: "In our view there were two flaws in the submissions advanced in this case. The first was that they proceeded as if the guideline used in England and Wales was actually applicable in Scotland rather than available for such help as it may provide by way of cross check.The judgement added that having reached his conclusion Lord Mullholland considered the English guideline.
